Bonsoir Pierre !
I just got back from shopping to find your mail. It was exactly that. A
masterly reply! I did as you said and the build went like a dream. No tests
failed, so I'm back in business.
I must say that I thought (and hoped !) it may be something on those lines but
I would never have found it, I fear, without help. Nonetheless, I marked that
long list of commands as needing care, especially when tired. . . and thought
that I had done them correctly, but I really must have skipped the last ln
commands, there is no other answer.
Many thanks for your time,
Bonsoir et mille mercis
Terence
